5550 Console Drops Connection MCD4.1 SP2

[Layne5]

thread1329-1404846

This is a new install = MCD4.1 SP2.
PC has one NIC and is connected to 5550 console-port.
Already checked the network, did a ping -t towards controller and no communication losses/time-outs, power-saving options on pc disabled,...

Happens several times each day.

Anyone had the same issue lately? Any ideas?

Thanks!

PS. the pc apparently has a gigabit NIC.
Anyone has had issues with that?

there is a PR1 load out for 4.1 SP2 I would upgrade to that ASAP.

Best practice is to set the PC port speed to 100mb/full there is a known issue when a GB adapter is set to auto.

OK, thanks for your help;
We spend a lot of time on this and in the end it appeared to be a firewall issue!
